As the International AIDS Conference remains a vital tool for continuing medical education, the International AIDS Society (IAS) is proud to launch the IAS Educational Fund – a mechanism aimed to provide and invest in educational opportunities that support the frontline HIV workforce.
The IAS Educational Fund will enable 100 clinicians and 40 advocates to attend the21st International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2016). Additionally, it will offer increased virtual access to conference content and a series of symposia hosted in targeted countries to strengthen scientific and programmatic knowledge from a global perspective that is relevant at a local level. Applications for grants to attend AIDS 2016 will open on 20 April and close on 11 May.
Application Process and Timeline
Applications for grants to attend AIDS 2016 will open on 20 April and close on 11 May. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis, so applicants are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible while places remain available. Detailed application criteria will be provided prior to the application start date.
This programme is open to HIV clinicians, service providers and advocates. Applications will be scored based on the applicant’s motivation to attend and disseminate knowledge and best practices acquired at AIDS 2016. Only fully complete applications will be considered.
The IAS Educational Fund is made possible through an educational grant from ViiV Healthcare and financial support from Gilead Sciences.
